The DWM3001C from Qorvo is a fully integrated UWB module that supports the 6.5 GHz (channel 5) and 8 GHz (channel 9) UWB channels. The module integrates the Qorvo DW3110 IC, nRF52833 BLE SoC, planar UWB antenna, accelerometer, power management and crystal. It has been optimized for Low power consumption and can be powered from batteries for long periods, providing cost-effective implementation of UWB solutions. The DWM3001C module is interoperable with the Apple U1 chip (Beta Evaluation) and has been designed to be compliant to the FiRa™ PHY and MAC specifications enabling interoperability with other FiRa™ compliant devices.
The module requires a DC supply from 2.5 to 3.6 V and consumes less than 45 mA of current. It is available in a side castellated package that measures 27.1 x 19.13 mm and is ideal for precision real-time location systems (RTLS) using two-way ranging or TDoA schemes in a variety of markets and location-aware wireless sensor networks (WSNs) applications. The low power consumption of this transceiver allows powering from batteries for extended periods, providing cost-effective implementation of UWB solutions.
